jay carney gave a statement to the pool. they canceled it. the president's coming back up here. the question is, does the event itself still go on with bill clinton? right now, for instance, they were still going to have clinton and biden events in youngstown this was supposed to be the second stop. there was a virginia stop that was going to be today, but this was sort of odd last night when the president left. and you wondered, well, what's he going to say this morning at this campaign event? you know, is he really going to go off on a romnesia riff? you know, so this doesn't surprise me at all. >> hey, chuck, a lot happening this past weekend. >> yeah. >> i don't even know where to start. the one thing, though, that you and i can probably agree on here is, it's hard to pick up trends. you see an ohio newspaper poll, oh, wait, okay. >> yeah. >> mitt romney is now even with the president. boy, the president's in a lot of trouble. and an hour later, "the washington post"/abc poll, wait, romney's down four. an hour later "the des moines register" decides they're going to endorse

press secretary jay carney started his briefing pointing out that president obama has the utmost confidence in the uk's ability to manage -- >> how nice. >> the olympic games. joe, i don't -- i mean this is -- i'm not sure how fair this is. mitt romney did run the olympics. >> listen, he ran the olympics and i'm sure he thought that he was giving a legitimate analysis to brian williams and talking about what he needed to look for. that said, obviously when you're overseas you have to be extra, extra careful. this is actually -- i'm not going to say damaging, but it is such a missed opportunity for mitt romney because great britain has felt over the past four years that barack obama has not understood this special relationship between america and britain. i felt that way, a lot of people have felt that way. mitt romney's even discussed it. and yet, now, he has managed in a day to make barack obama seem like the favorite son of london. it was just -- it was a dumb, dumb thing to do. will it be damaging in the long term? no. but it adds to the idea that this guy is just chunky and he is not ni
